Re: [TenTec] Omvi VI AF Gain Control & RIT

[Gary Tuck <gtuck@mac.com>]

Art, my Omni VI+ AF control is similarly sensitive.  I use inexpensive  
noise canceling headphones but have found the same issue with three  
other pairs of cans.  I now take audio off the speaker jack at the  
rear of the rig and thru a DSP audio filter and then an external  
speaker with a headphone jack.  BTW, I do the same thing with an Omni  
VII because its headphone audio volume is way too loud at more than 2%  
for me.
